Global RAID Controllers Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

RAID controllers are a hardware device or software program. RAID controllers, also known as disk array controllers, are storage components that manage disk drives in a RAID infrastructure. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. This is a data storage virtualization technology that brings together physical disk drive components to drive data redundancy and/or improvement.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global RAID Controllers market finds that the global RAID Controllers market reached a value of USD 1264.54 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1718.95 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.25% during the forecast period.

Product advantages drive industry development

Spinning disk, mechanical hard drives, or Hard Disk Disks (HDDs) are typically chosen in situations where needs such as speed and performance fall second to cost. Due to physical limitations and the mechanical nature of many high speed moving parts contained in them, HDDs also have a relatively high failure rate compared to SSDs. RAID controllers are meant to help alleviate both of these issues.

RAID controllers technology originally developed in order to combine small cheap disks to replace large expensive disks, and at the same time hope that the disk will not lose access to data when the disk fails. RAID is a redundant array of inexpensive disks, which appears as a separate large storage device under the operating system.

RAID can give full play to the advantages of multiple hard disks, can improve the speed of hard disks, increase capacity, provide fault tolerance to ensure data security, easy to manage the advantages, in the case of any hard disk problems can continue to work, will not be affected by damage to the hard disk.

In short, if people value the data, they are going to need to implement some methodology to help protect it from drive failure.

Personal computer users' requirements gradually improve to drive the development of the industry

At the beginning, the RAID solution was mainly for SCSI hard disk systems, and the system cost was relatively expensive. In 1993, HighPoint introduced the first IDE-RAID control chip, which can use relatively inexpensive IDE hard disks to form RAID systems, thereby greatly reducing the threshold of RAID. Since then, individual users have also begun to pay attention to this technology, because hard disks are the most slow and least secure device in modern personal computers, and the data stored in them often far exceeds the price of the computer itself. RAID technology allows individual users to enjoy exponentially faster disk speeds and higher data security at a relatively small cost.

IDE-RAID chips for individual users generally only provide support for RAID specifications such as RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 (RAID 10), although they are not technically comparable to commercial systems, but for ordinary users they provide speed improvement and security guarantees are enough. Today, when the competition of motherboard manufacturers intensifies and the requirements of personal computer users gradually increase, The increasing demand drives the development of RAID controllers.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, RAID 5 segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.

RAID 0 (also known as a stripe set or striped volume) splits (stripes) data evenly across two or more disks, without parity information, redundancy, or fault tolerance. Since RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance or redundancy, the failure of one drive will cause the entire array to fail; as a result of having data striped across all disks, the failure will result in total data loss. This configuration is typically implemented having speed as the intended goal. RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a large logical volume out of two or more physical disks.

RAID 1 consists of an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks; a classic RAID 1 mirrored pair contains two disks. This configuration offers no parity, striping, or spanning of disk space across multiple disks, since the data is mirrored on all disks belonging to the array, and the array can only be as big as the smallest member disk. This layout is useful when read performance or reliability is more important than write performance or the resulting data storage capacity.

RAID 5 consists of block-level striping with distributed parity. Parity information is distributed among the drives. It requires that all drives but one be present to operate. Upon failure of a single drive, subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that no data is lost. RAID 5 requires at least three disks.

RAID 6 extends RAID 5 by adding another parity block; thus, it uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across all member disks.

As in RAID 5, there are many layouts of RAID 6 disk arrays depending upon the direction the data blocks are written, the location of the parity blocks with respect to the data blocks and whether or not the first data block of a subsequent stripe is written to the same drive as the last parity block of the prior stripe.

Application Overview:

The market's largest segment by application is the segment Internet Industry, with a market share of 30.54% in 2021.

RAID controller can increase the internal storage capacity of standard or small computers. The RAID controller can also create a RAID array and add data redundancy to the computer and increase storage security. The RAID controller can also access and restore data from almost all M.2 SSDs, such as drives extracted from laptops and other computers.

Cloud based storage service providers are expanding their cloud operations to cater to this growing demand for cloud storage. The servers and storage devices used in data centers are integrated with RAID controller. Therefore, the growing adoption of cloud-based services will boost the growth of RAID controller market during the forecast period.

The RAID controller is known as one of the most suitable devices for enterprise data storage in the manufacturing industry. Its high speed, data redundancy, and security continue to make it an easy choice for most business owners. RAID controller usually store extremely important business data, including accounting information, competition data, and future marketing plans.
